Do we specifically need to use remix?

What if we need to do local development how would we set that up in our computers? And what IDEs or text editors are preferred for local solidity development.

Hello @SyedUmairCodes Thanks for the question. There are great IDEs for local development of Solidity Smart Contracts, like VSCode using Hardhat or Truffle libraries. In this Solidity Foundations course we'll only cover the Remix IDE part, since this is a more introductory course.
